Payments Blog

September is here! Fall is right around the corner. Labor Day is this weekend and college football starts this weekend. There is a lot going on. Plus this week was a busy week at Cardinal. This month, we are featured in Fortune magazine's August issue! Our blog focus this month is on learning more about generation Z consumers! And did you hear Cardinal expanded our patent portfolio? What else happened in the payments industry this week?

April is ending and Cardinal is gearing up for May! It has been a busy week. We learned about the solution to false positives, the webinar we are having with MAG and a new article in pymts.com with Rick Ziolkowski.

For most consumers, having a credit card is a necessity, but not millennials. Many millennials do not have or even want one; 63% of millennials do not own a credit card. This could be a problem when they want to make a large purchase. Luckily for merchants and millennials, alternative payments can be a solution to this problem. Alternative payments give millennials multiple options on how they are able to make purchases. An attractive alternative payment for millennials is Affirm, which offers simple, instant financing at checkout with the flexibility of monthly payments. They offer transparent pricing with no late fees or compounding interest. If you are trying to attract more millennials and create more sales, consider offering alternative payment options like Affirm at your checkout.
